Australia is reportedly set to formally recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Australian public television station SBS reported on Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2018.
The Guardian reports that Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is considering moving Australia’s embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
The move is to be officially announced on Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2018. “However, the embassy won’t be moved from Tel Aviv just yet,” the report said, according to The Jerusalem Post. “Instead a consular office will be opened, the sources said, due to the cost of the move, pegged at $200 million.”
